My BF left for India today to visit family. They are always sending me gifts so I embroidered this picture to send to Babitai ( means older sister). The design came from the design on a box of tea. Special thanks to Celeste for suggesting that I add some metallic thread. The gold worked really well... too bad you can't see it in the photo.

Stitches used; backstitch, stemstitch, lazy daisy, seed stitch, french knots, feather stitch, cross stitch, arrowhead stitch and one stitch I don't know the name for - I did vertical parallel stitches and drew them together with horizontal running stitch of gold metallic thread (in the band next to the feather stitch).
